to gain an understanding of public policy as it related to their discipline. Wefound that many of these students did value such knowledge. We also found that the more seniorstudents and the students with work experience overwhelmingly valued such material.As a follow-up to this research, we surveyed approximately one hundred engineers in a variety ofhiring positions in industry to determine their view on the inclusion of public policy in anengineering curriculum. Among the questions included in the survey, we asked, “Do you believethat engineering students should be exposed to public policy issues as part of their education?”We also addressed a number of other issues, including: 1) How do these engineers define publicpolicy? 2) Should the

for Improved LearningA primary goal of homework is for students to learn as much as possible, especially perhaps,from their mistakes. The typical homework format, however, has impediments to the learningprocess: 1) slow feedback, 2) penalties for mistakes, and 3) no encouragement to discovermistakes and correct them. In recent years, several new approaches to homework have beenintroduced, but none addresses all three learning limitations listed above: a) Homework isassigned but neither required nor graded. b) It is automatically graded online. c) Detailedsolutions are provided online.Four years ago we began developing a self-graded aspect to our homework assignments with thegoal of improving student learning while minimizing the burden to the
